"Fancy" Whole Wheat Pizza

I like this the best when we roll the crust to really thin. Ethan normally doesn't like home made pizza, but he said he really liked this. Even Ava liked it...

"Fancy" Whole Wheat Pizza

Crust:
2/3 C water
¼ oz. pkg. active dry yeast
¾ tsp sugar
¾ C all-purpose flour
¾ C whole wheat flour
¾ tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp extra-virgin oil
Cornmeal

1. Stir the yeast, sugar, and water together and set aside for 5 minutes.
2. Combine flours and salt together (you can do this by hand or with a food processor)
3. Pour in yeast mixture and oil continuing to mix with hands (or pulse with processor) until a shaggy dough is formed.
4. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until dough is elastic.
5. Place dough in a large oiled bowl. Cover with a dampened towel. Let rise in warm, draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
6. Punch down dough to deflate, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes more.
7. Transfer dough to floured surface and roll out to desired size.
8. Transfer dough to a pizza pan dusted with cornmeal

Toppings:
Tomato sauce
Italian seasoning
Crumbled Feta Cheese
Onion
Fresh Spinach
Fresh Mushrooms

1. Saute onion, spinach, and mushrooms in some olive oil until spinach wilts and onions are tender.
2. Sprinkle sauce with desired amount of seasoning. Spread on pizza dough.
3. Spread cheese then top with sautéed mix.
4. Bake at 500 degrees for 10-13 minutes.
